ACCESS NEEDS: If you have questions, we're happy to discuss. Please send an email to afrourbansociety.dance@gmail.com if you have access needs that aren't included below.
COVID SAFETY:
We'll maintain COVID safety protocols appropriate to conditions in the community at the time of audition. Bring a well-fitted mask, hand sanitizer, and your own reusable bottle of water.
BATHROOMS:
Latham Square: we'll be outside the entire time, so that means no bathroom access, although there may be public bathrooms around the square.
ADA & WHEELCHAIRS:
Latham Square is centrally located in an ADA accessible space in downtown. Latham Square is wheelchair accessible
TRANSIT:
Latham Square is about 3 blocks from the 12th and 19th BART stations and right next to an AC Transit hub. There is no dedicated parking. Parking available is street parking.
SCENT FREE SPACE: To support our community needs for those who have fragrance sensitivities and allergies, we ask all attendees not to wear any scented products on days that you attend workshops/auditions-- lotions, shampoos, essential oils, etc. Natural scents like essential oils and incense can still have these effects. Here's a useful resource from East Bay Meditation Center on what products do and don't contain scents (it includes info around black/POC specific hair/body products): https://eastbaymeditation.org/res.../fragrance-free-at-ebmc/
